Services
Pillar Kincardine was founded in 1989 as a result of the success of "Stepping Stones" and Pillar Aberdeen's provision of social and leisure activities for people within the city at a time when, within Aberdeenshire, little service existed beyond Community Psychiatric Nurses and 'generic' social workers.
I've been wanting to tell my story for a while now and as today is World Suicide Prevention day I thought that this would be a good time. Before I became ill, I was a wife, a mum a daughter a sister and a friend. People described me as happy go lucky, up for a joke and a laugh, and I always just got on with life.
